Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Sri spotted this great example of a Safari-Kai (a specially converted DJ-5).
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/7552120833.html
“Immaculate 1973 DJ5 Safari Kar conversion. Fully refurbished in 1991 and remained in storage for over 20 years. Always garaged, inline 6, under 3,000 miles on the odometer.
Can not drive around the block without being stoped by onlookers. Devastated to be selling, but moving back to the east coast and she’s a california girl.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
(06/10/2022) Bill shared this nice looking M-38 for auction. The starting bid is $12,000, but this appears to have a reserve price as well.

“This 1952 Willys M38 Jeep was built for the Korean War (1950-53). It is correct as new – 24 volt system,

It has a military waterproof ignition system. All components are new or rebuilt. As photos show, this jeep has a M1 rifle gun scabbard with a dummy M1 Grand rifle.

This looks in good shape, though it seems to have some extra lift to it. Thanks to Mike for the link.

“Pleased to offer this 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2a that has been recently restored to a very high standard by a notable Jeep Restoration outfit here out West.

Finished off in a beautiful Desert Tan with a fresh Black Vinyl Top, Side Curtains and Doors Kit. Very tasteful presentation without straying away from a Factory Original appearance. The Interior is nicely finished out as well.

Looks in good shape.
“Owned 35+ years, kept as original as possible. Serviced and maintained over the years including repaint (correct Pasture Green) and reupholstered seats. Engine underwent an extensive professional overhaul in 2015 – driven about 50 miles since. Parade and show worthy. Interesting and fun, but time to pass it on to someone who will appreciate, enjoy and care for it.
Please . . . inquiries from serious and capable buyers only.”
Tom shared this rebuilt CJ-5. I haven’t seen an early KS speedometer with that tall of bezel (outer circle). Maybe it is the light color of the outer ring that is throwing me off.

Currie 9 inch rear end. Custom leather interior. Louvered hood. Faux woodie paint. Amazing how many people think it’s real wood. Much easier to maintain.

“Just resorted, it was purchased in California and I put many hours and money restoring it.
As you can see from the photos it is in excellent condition. Runs great and the decals can be removed.”
Glenn spotted this rare and restored Mahl Loader and CJ-2A. There are a ton of detail photos at BaT’s auction page. Note that the serial number used for the title is an engine number and not the original serial number. So, a buyer might want to consider that it your state is extra picky.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1948-willys-cj-2a-18/
“This 1948 Willys CJ-2A is powered by a 134ci Go-Devil inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission and is fitted with a MAHL Jeep Loader attachment produced by Standard Iron & Wire Works Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pair was acquired by the seller around 2010 and subsequently refurbished before installation of the loader in 2016. The truck is finished in black over green vinyl and features white-painted 16″ steel wheels, a fold-flat windshield, a dual-range transfer case, a power take-off unit, a Gre-Sen hydraulic pump, and cab-mounted hydraulic controls. This CJ-2A and Jeep Loader are now offered with an award, articles about the project, and a clean Minnesota title in the name of the seller’s company…..
The factory chassis tag has been replaced with a reproduction unit that shows a blank serial number, and the seller is unable to locate the chassis number on the vehicle itself. The last six digits of the VIN on the title—J172095—are consistent with that of a 1948 Willys CJ-2A.”
